Where your tattoo is? If it's on your lower back - wear a higher bikini, if it's on your leg - wear a long beach skirt (in case you are a girl). If on your ankle - wear a wide bracelet, if on your arm - wear a bandana around.
If you can't hide it, just tell it's a temporary henna tattoo, and it will come off in some time. Later, when they get over their first shock, you can tell you decided to get a real one.

where is the tattoo??
i suggest you wear a one-piece bathing suit, because it covers most of your body.
if the tattoo is still in a place that's visible even with a one-piece on, well, i guess you've got some news to break to your parents....=/

Look unless you're Jewish, where it really matters to them, now is the time to get it out in the open. Unless you are like 16 and well, ****** ....since at that age, parents can take legal action against the tattoer.

tell them its temporary one, and that it will come off later then tell them a while later that its real because you like the design of it. But if its really new less then 6 months old, get one of the large water prof band-aids and cover it up. or go to tattoogoo.com and get the sun screen kind that they have it works wonders and keeps the colors fresh, and looking new.
